considering printing out this chart and keeping it with me in hopes of meeting a goldbug irl
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 6 March 2013 03:04 (eleven years ago) link
I'd take issue with the misleading color treatment that some redditor applied to that graph to make their point but otoh it's probable that gold bug's only respond to shitty graphs

*goldbugs, nice greengrocers' apostrophe there
theres nothing misleading abt the colors, the arrows are ugly and redundant tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 6 March 2013 03:35 (eleven years ago) link
greengrocer?
― Gunoka Cuntles (Matt P), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 03:37 (eleven years ago) link
i assumed apostrophe abuse was confined to the american west, cool to know we all share so much
― Gunoka Cuntles (Matt P), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 03:43 (eleven years ago) link
Greengrocer refers to when people place apostrophes in random places, or places where they think they should be. Grocery signs were supposedly riddled with these kinds of mistakes.

That sign is odious but for some reason, "THE poor people" makes it even worse than if it just said "poor people."

Which would still be bad, don't get me wrong.

my favorite part about goldbugs is how they think that metals prized for their visual properties are exempt as "fiat currency"

recall a story abt the dakota gold rush where when europeans first showed up there was just nugs of gold lying around on the ground, pretty soon the local indians were wondering wtf it is w these rocks that make white people so crazy

those arrows make it look like the chart is bleeding

once 'fiat currency' was introduced the countries started bleeding out their liberty and freedom

sure the economies did okay but is that really worth it without the security of knowing that you can always trade paper for rocks

I went to the party and remembered what you said. You asked me not to drink alcohol, so I drank a Sprite instead. I felt proud of myself, as you said I should feel. You said I should not drink and drive, contrary to what some friends told me. I made a healthy choice and your advice was correct, as it always is. When the party finally ended, people began to drive without being able to do so properly. I went to my car with the certainty that I would return home in peace. I never imagined what awaited me, Mom. Now I'm lying in the street and I hear the policeman say: "The kid that caused this accident was drunk". Mom, his voice seems so distant. My blood is spilled everywhere and I'm trying with all my might not to moan. I can hear the doctors say, "This girl is going to die". I have the certainty that the young man, who ran at full speed, decided to drink and drive, and now I have to die. Why do people do this, Mom, knowing that this is going to ruin many lives? The pain is cutting me like a hundred knives. Tell my sister not to cry, tell Daddy to be strong. And when I go to Heaven, I'll be watching for you all. Someone should have taught that boy that it's wrong to drink and drive. Maybe if his parents would have told him that, I would not be dying now. My breath is getting weaker, more and more. Mom, these are my last moments and I feel so desperate. I wish I could hug you Mom, while I'm lying here dying. I wish I could tell you how much I love you, Mom. So... I... love... you... goodbye... " ~ These words were written by a reporter who witnessed the accident. The girl, as she died, was saying these words and the reporter wrote them down... very overwhelmed. The journalist started this campaign, if you read this note, please click "share", so more people can be aware. Therefore, I ask one small gesture, send it to your friends, family and loved ones.

The sentiment and artwork of the "disturbed people" thing reminds me of "funny" greeting cards from the 70s and 80s.
